Śrī Kṛṣṇa Bhajana Lāgi Saṁsāre Ā Inu
Śrī-rāga
To worship Lord Kṛṣṇa I came to this world of birth and death. Then Māyā caught me in her net. Then I became dull and stunted like a tree.
The vine of material love coiled and coiled around me. Manifesting the form of a tree-boring insect, a woman entered my heart.
Manifesting the forms of fruits, sons and daughters grew on my branches and fell to the ground. Manifesting the form of a bird, time made its nest in my branches.
Gradually I became dry and withered. I could hardly stand erect. Then the blazing forest fire of birth and death came.
Wicked desires and false hopes were the two streams of smoke that at once arose. This Locana dāsa called out, “I am dying!
"Save me! Save me, O Vaiṣṇava Gosāi! Throw upon me the water of your mercy and save me!"
